One of major difficulties of growing up I've found is trying to find out who you are or what makes you an individual I am at that stage in my life and I must say that this stage has been the hardest since I had to leave home and go to pre school I have gone through so many difeerent me's its crazy for instance last year I hated the world and myself and blamed everybody for every little thing so I classified myself as an emo I wore all black cut my hair to have emo bangs painted my nails black sat in a corner in the library at lunchtime deserted all my friends and even went so far as to change my middle name on facebook to "Xperimentalemo" the emo thing did not work out because during basketball season i was higher on social ladder than during football season because i'm in band and i really had to get into basketball player mode....another me was freshman year where I tried to be reeally cool with all the ghetto people and let them cheat off of my homework just so i could have assurance that none of them would try to beat my ass once again i got into the role by buying air force ones and gettin micros with all different colors and I even took a few trips to the gateway to up my street cred that image did not work out either because i have a very strong white girl accent and I was not failing any classes and boasting about it right now i would say i'm goin through a "pop phase" just because i hang around a bunch of people i barely spoke to years before and did not really like but they just so happen to be the more popular people in our grade so how ironic right anyway so i have this new group of friends and two years ago i probably would have laughed my ass off if some one told me that I was going to be apart of the "Baldwin Hills" kids (thats what we call ourselves) but suprisingly they are not as bad as i thought they were sure we barely have anything in common and the hidden truth is that we all are not really as tight as we look we just look like that because we all have an image to uphold
